Description

OLTP - DBMS for mainframes and Linux/Unix/Windows environments

used typically together with the Natural programming platform

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

Key-Value Store with special method for indexing

optimized for high performance using a special indexing method

Distributed Analytical Database to replace Hadoop+MPP hybrid architecture

Primary database model
